Former WWE wrestler may face foot amputation

Brian Knobbs is dealing with a serious medical issue.

The former member of the Nasty Boys posted a video to YouTube revealing he may have to have his foot amputated due to a recurring infection.

“They found out that my foot is infected again. So, now they’re talking about amputation,” he says in the video.

He also noted that his wife recently suffered a broken ankle.

“So, now she’s laid up in rehab and then my best friend in the world passes away and it’s just been a tough road.”

Knobbs is asking for support and donations to a GoFundMe to help with medical bills.

“I should have, back in the day, saved a little more. I don’t know if that would have helped or whatever, but back in the day, we didn’t make the kind of money they do today. We wrestled, we paid for everything we did. So, planes, cars, everything like that was out of our paycheck.”

The GoFundMe has currently raised $31,269 of its stated $50,000 goal. According to the page, the funds will be used to help with: Temporary housing while Brian is hospitalized, rehab support for his wife Toni, hotel fees to protect their belongings, basic living expenses and restarting Brian’s recovery and long-term plan.

Knobbs also spoke about the death of his longtime friend Hulk Hogan.

“Then the final thing losing the Hulkster, the big man. I mean, it’s hard to handle. It really is.”

Knobbs also mentioned Buff Bagwell recently having his leg amputated.

“I see my buddy Buff Bagwell and he’s still fighting and fighting the good fight but, in my mind, I am not losing any of my limbs. They already told me they ain’t just gonna amputate my foot. They want to go higher or higher. You never know what. And that ain’t gonna happen. I’m totally against that.”
